Shipping says it will take 1-2 weeks. I was anticipating receiving it on Dec 15 but nothing. Order history showed that the product was pulled Dec 3, but then sat in a warehouse for 10 days before showing any movement. Using USPS should not take this long. I suspect this company is using false shipping information and false expectations.

Fun purchases
December 16, 2023

There are lots of fun items available through Light In The Box and items I wouldn't find elsewhere. Prices are compelling. Pack your patience because shipping to Canada takes weeks and the regular emails with tracking info never load for me, but items arrive as expected eventually!

This company is absolute garbage. Do not buy from this site. Definitely don't pay for expedited shipping. It took over three weeks to receive what I ordered, way too late for what I wanted it for. Customer care doesn't care at all and it's impossible to get a refund.

These people are scammers and make communication and returns extremely difficult if not impossible. 1/3 items were wearable. I would not recommend their product or their service.

Shopping on the site is great, lots of cool things. I purchased two shirts to wear to two Christmas parties. One was today and the other is next Thursday. My tracking says the packages wont be here until the 22nd. Honestly, thats unacceptable and I even reached out to pay extra for expedited shipping and Im still not going to receive it in a timely manner. The customer service agent was nice, but im still waiting entirely too long for a package I paid almost as much for shipping (22.00) as I did for both products combined (32.00) Until i am compensated for that lack of effort, I cannot suggest liht in the box to anyone anymore and when it gets brought up I tell them about how long shipping takes, even after paying for expedited shipping.
